IMPORTANT SUGGESTIONS:

Vector’s Thermoelectric Cooler/Warmer cools like a refrigerator and warms like an
oven. For best performance, plug in the unit approximately 30 minutes before
loading to give it time to warm up or cool down. Always try to fill your unit with pre­chilled or pre-heated food or beverages, as the unit will always perform at its best
when you do this. Generally, your unit will cool down to as much as 40°F below the
ambient temperature. For example, in a room, where a constant temperature of 80°F
is sustained, the unit will cool to approximately 40°F – 45°F. To ensure optimum per­formance, always keep the unit out of direct sunlight when running on the cold cycle.
When the unit is running on the warm cycle, it will warm to approximately 120°F. On
cold days, the unit will need more time to reach the maximum warm temperature. To
promote your unit’s cooling capacity on warm days, try reusable frozen ice packets.
These are particularly helpful in keeping your unit cold while unplugged. Contact
Technical Support at 954-584-4446 for further information.
